I remember hearing something of this back when Scorched Earth was on my old PC. Never seen anyone use it, and I can't seem to find anything on Google about it either now. I sometimes use a pencil with marks on it to imagine where the shot would land at a given angle sometimes, so I assume it's the same thing? I didn't realize such a thing was considered cheating. How would you even know unless you were right there?
I may be completely missing something though, it's not hard to aim in this game once you've gotten the hang of it. Originally posted by:I remember hearing something of this back when Scorched Earth was on my old PC.

I may be completely missing something though, it's not hard to aim in this game once you've gotten the hang of it. I mean, once you commit it to memory, it's not really cheating, but if you're using external tools like a piece of paper and what not, then that's no different from installing an aimbot, no? Kinda weird for people with photographic memory though, memorize all the angles and shot patterns once and they're done.
Originally posted by:I don't consider pen-and-paper cheating, why? Because you're using it as a tool to actively try and aim and it relies on player skill. Aimbots on the other hand do it all for you and take no skill to employ. I got into a game with an aimbot earlier today, sucked out all of the enjoyment I was having with this game so far. Not sure if I'll play much if at all now. I've pretty much got all basic non wind aims down to heart, the only way you'd know if it was an aimbot is if they immediately locked their turn, but even then skillful clickers could probably pull that off.
Don't forget this game has been out as a flash version for a long time now, so even low levels could have experience from flash game.
